At HotShots, fact-checking is an essential part of our editorial process. We are dedicated to publishing content that is accurate, trustworthy, and reflective of current developments related to social assistance programs, government benefits, and rare coins in the U.S. and Canada.
Our articles undergo a multi-stage review process to ensure the data we share is based on credible, up-to-date sources. These include government portals, official press statements, verified financial publications, and historical coin databases. Our writers are trained to cross-verify information before it is published.
In the case of social and retirement programs such as Social Security, IRS stimulus payments, CTC, CPP, and OAS, we fact-check:
- Eligibility criteria
- Payment amounts and dates
- Official changes and announcements
- Application procedures
For our numismatic content, we ensure that coin values, auction references, and rarity indicators are cross-verified with reliable records. We recognize that coin valuations can vary, so we provide ranges or “estimated worth” where exact figures are not available.
When updates occur or government regulations change, we strive to revise our content as quickly as possible. Each article displays the most recent revision to reflect when it was last reviewed and updated.
Despite our efforts, errors can occur. We strongly encourage our readers to notify us if they come across any misleading, outdated, or incorrect information. You can contact us directly at [email protected] for any corrections or concerns.
HotShots does not publish unverified claims, rumors, or sensational content. We uphold a no misinformation policy, and each piece of content is expected to meet high standards of accuracy, clarity, and accountability.
We remain committed to transparency, editorial ethics, and providing users with the most dependable resource for benefits-related news and coin collecting insights.
